Application and meaning of as/like they did every day

Hello all forum users!

There is a constant fight going on in my head about which is correct: like they did every day or as they did every day.
I know for sure that "like they did every day" means the same as "as they did every day". The first version is not appropriate (from a grammatical point of view although acceptable) whereas the second one is 100 % correct.
Let's take the following sentence:

They went to clean the windows like they did every day.
=
They went to clean the windows as they did every day.

The meaning is obvious: They went to clean the windows the way they did every day.
